6th generation: John James Busby (my ggg maternal grandpa; Amy Busby's paternal grandpa)







John James Busby Family circa 1901

John James Busby Family circa 1901
Back row left to right:  Arizona, ?, ?, Violet Anne, and ?
Seated: John James, Rose Hannah Taylor, Annie Elizabeth
Children in front: ?, ?

My guess is Rose Mary Hodge is to the right of Arizona, Abraham John is next to Violet, William is the little boy, and Nellie is one of the babies... Not sure where Charlotte is. 
John James Busby was born in England and immigrated to Utah in the Robert F. Neslen Pioneer Company 15 Sep 1859. 

He died 15 Sep 1859 in St. David, AZ and was buried the next day.

There is a story about John James Busby that I will work on getting uploaded here.

It looks like he lived with two other women as well: Phoebe Gamble and Ellen Taylor
